FLUX.1 [schnell] is the speed-optimised member of the FLUX family from Black Forest Labs. It generates images from a text prompt in very few steps, trading a little peak fidelity for much faster turnaround and a lower price.
It is served through Hormouz behind an asynchronous predictions API. Submit a prediction, then poll until the image is ready. The required input is a prompt; you can also request several images at once with num_outputs (default 1) and set an aspect_ratio (default 1:1).
At $0.003 per image it is one of the cheapest ways to generate images, which makes it a good fit for high-volume or draft work. Hormouz provides stable access to FLUX.1 [schnell] from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
